The difference between glass crystal diamonds and acrylic crystal diamonds in appearance

Glossiness

Glass crystal diamond: It has a high refractive index, can produce a luster similar to natural crystal, has a good light refraction and reflection effect, has a certain brightness and fire, and looks crystal clear.

Acrylic crystal diamond: Although the transparency is high, the luster is slightly inferior to that of the glass crystal diamond, with a soft plastic texture, and there is no sharp and dazzling light like the glass crystal diamond.

Color expression

Glass crystal diamond: The color is relatively pure and natural, especially for colorless and transparent glass crystal diamonds, the purity is very high. The colored glass crystal diamond made of metal oxides has better color saturation and stability.

Acrylic crystal diamonds: There are a variety of colors, and it is easy to achieve a variety of bright colors by adding masterbatches, but some colored acrylic crystal diamonds may have a slight color palette or not pure feeling, and the color may fade to a certain extent under long-term light.

Cut face effect

Glass crystal diamond: After the cutting surface is finely polished, the edge is sharp and clear, and the connection between the facets is relatively smooth and natural, which can make the light refracted and reflected regularly inside, showing obvious ridges and brilliant effects.

Acrylic Crystal Diamonds: The edges of the facets are relatively rounded, not as sharp as glass crystal diamonds, the transitions between the facets may be slightly blurred, and the ridges and light and shadow effects formed when the light is refracted and reflected are not as clear and intense as those of glass crystal diamonds.

Sense of transparency

Glass crystal diamond: There are relatively few internal impurities, and the overall sense of transparency is very strong, which can give people a clear and pure visual feeling, especially for high-quality glass crystal diamonds, there are almost no obvious flaws or bubbles inside.

Acrylic Crystal Diamonds: Although they are more transparent, they can sometimes give people a hazy feeling, and the sense of transparency is not as good as that of glass crystal diamonds, and there may be a slight haze in thicker parts, and there may be very fine bubbles.

Appearance performance with a sense of weight

Glass crystal diamond: the density is larger, there is a certain sense of weight in the hand, from the appearance, it will give people a calm, real feeling, in some heavier jewelry or nail art design that needs to reflect the texture, can increase the overall sense of heaviness and luxury.

Acrylic crystal diamond: The texture is light, it feels very light in the hand, and it may feel relatively "thin" visually from the appearance, lacking the heavy texture of a glass crystal diamond.
